Why Study Islamic Banking and Finance?
Although Islamic Banking and Finance industry is growing, there is a discernible issue that is not being addressed – and that is the lack of skill and talent.
Today, 95% of the existing staff lacks adequate qualifications and practical experience to properly capitalise on the opportunities present in the Islamic finance industry and take it to people of all faiths, beliefs and backgrounds all over the world.
The growth potential and the rate at which it can happen is truly behemoth compared to what we are seeing at present – and this, is what we are out to do. We want to build a new breed of Entrepreneurs and ethically driven professionals and you too can join us in this journey!

Feedback from our students
“I’m a fan of continuous learning – and the IFQ program I enrolled for with the FGA proved way more valuable than the amount I invested. There is loads of information and knowledge that is shared with the students in the sessions and the cherry on top is the eligibility for ACSI tier membership with the CISI-UK upon completion – all in all, hats off FGA!”
“I am delighted to see First Global Digital Academy (FGDA) impart education and attract the younger generation towards Islamic Banking. Your tireless efforts will surely bear fruits in this world (Dunya) and hereafter (Akhira). I am sure that FGDA will surely succeed in developing Islamic bankers as Ethical Entrepreneurs.”
“The best place to get a qualification in this course is at FGA, they will ensure that they provide you with all the help you need to get you through the exam and be an iBanker in your chosen field!”
“I would like to thank you for the well-organised training – it was extremely informative and covered all the aspects of Islamic Banking with relevant examples. Mr. Thowfeek is a well known, very humble personality and spending quality time and efforts on his trainings. I will surely recommend this training to all my colleagues, family members and friends to join First Global Digital Academy.”
“Going to First Global Digital Academy (FGDA) for my qualification was definitely a decision that changed my life for good – as in addition to the theoretical aspects, they also cover practical applications of everything they teach in extensive detail – making sure the students are well versed to take on professional roles and responsibilities.”
